Posco chose a coiler of SMS group’s Uni Plus design for the expansion of its coiling capacity as this coiler type would enable winding of high-strength steels in the future.
30 coils – including API X70 grade hot strip of 25.4 mm thickness and 1,900 mm width – were produced during the hot tests.
In the current situation of protective measures being taken all over the world to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, production of the first coil was an extraordinary challenge, which the teams of Posco and SMS group – working in close partnership – mastered successfully. Posco expressed great satisfaction with the results of this project and congratulated all involved on the success.
